Willem Tanke – Meditations for a lent

'Recordings have been made in the Saint Willibrorduskerk in Berkel-Enschot. The organ of this church is rather small, but has a delicate, at the same time very intense sound. On tracks 7 and 9 I also play some percussion instruments.' (from the booklet)

Meditation 1 (Sound example)
Meditation 9 (Sound example)   (this piece was originally written for Good Friday, as a reflection upon the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the trembling of the earth that followed)
